I can't for the life of me figure out how this is even a pandemic. For perspective - 5 million people have died of/with covid. Keeping in mind that all countries have falsely counted deaths "with" covid as being "from" covid and some countries have even been caught fudging numbers....... While 5 million deaths world-wide is important to 5 million families, it dwarfs deaths from other causes that nobody gives a crap about. And....5 million deaths. Out of 7.8 billion people. We shut down the world for this. We removed human rights. We bankrupted small businesses. The collateral damage from this cannot even be calculated, it's astronomical. In reality, we shut down the world so the greatest wealth and power transfer in the history of man could take place.

No society has ever complied their way out of tyranny.

As an engineering student with ice racing as a hobby at that time, this thread reminds me of going to a certain short link between Northbound Pembina Hwy East to Main St. in Winnipeg on first snow in the late '60s. Four lanes of traffic coming off of Pembina and turned gradually to the left, still 4 lanes then slowed to a sharp right with 2 traffic lanes and parking lanes on either side. Anyone careless enough to park on the outside of that corner was guaranteed to be crashed from behind on the first mornings of fresh snow this time of year. They long ago changed that route, but it was worth the wait to see how predictably incompetent drivers are. Decades later, in business with a guy who lived in a nice neighbourhood in North York who would bundle up in a parka and take his morning coffee and newspaper out onto the summer porch to watch the...uh...."Newly Arrived Canadians" back their new Mercedes down the steep driveways on his street and crash into each other at the bottom during their first snow day. I can also remember a trip to his place in the '90s on a fall snow day and was stunned to see some complete IDIOT driving a BMTrouble-you motorcycle down the 401 in slush 6" deep, both feet down, 60/70 kph and slithering between the usual bunch of semis. Yeah, we are pretty stupid when it comes to driving.

Really? I respected the country less before him; go figure. You blame him for the COVID pandemic? You blame him for the floods and forest fires? You blame him for what your ancestors did to the natives a century ago? You blame him for us reaching the limits of our resource extraction? Oh, I see, you blame him for the WE and his mother's honorarium and the scandal with that Quebec company. Bad but minor by all standards. Feel happy you are not ruled by an idiot like O'Tool. The game was rigged a long time ago. A small group of people hold the whole country and us in their hands - it is all a matter of how much they want to squeeze.

any real environmentalist would support oil pipelines as they are the safest way to transport oil every other method is worse for the environment Suzuki is a fake

The bill banning conversion therapy passed unanimously in the House of Commons. All parties worked together to expedite its passage. Members from all parties exchanged handshakes and hugs. Michelle Rempel Garner was dancing in her place. That is how Parliament can work. It is a great day.

The government and the employer always know best for you. This is the great new dawn we waited for so anxiously, writing utopia and apocalypses. And now, at your fingertips.

? OMG ... I am embarrassing myself here ...

I was truly on the fence for these last 2 long years. I thought "well, this is a pandemic and the government wants to keep everyone safe". But there is no end to the insanity. The media takes part by TRYING to scare the masses over variants that really amount to not very much in the end. They came for us adults. Then for the under 18s. Now they are moving to jab our under 12 year old children. The biggest fraud liar of them all though is Anthony Fauci. I love how Rand Paul takes that even dwarf to the wood shed.

Yes I was giving our authorities the benefit of the doubt for quite some time and not getting worked up. But this has gone on long enough. Already it is affecting our personal lives. My wife's employer told her she is not allowed to throw a Christmas party for our teenagers in our home inviting 16 of their friends. Just so orwellian.

It’s true I love nature so much, I never go there. All you eco-tourists make me laugh. Just the mere presence of a man in the forest is a problem. Man is the abomination leading to desolation. Let’s build a cottage, go upon the wetland frogs habitat ducks nest foxes den, rabbit hole. Let’s make a road, better access to “get away from it all” I hear they’re putting in a corner store and gas station. You love nature? The best thing you can do is stay the hell away. Stay in your highrise condo, all you big-city hippie types.

On the BC1 propaganda channel here in BC they were really pimping the kiddie jab yesterday. They were also showing videos of kids getting it and they showed a little girl talking about how getting the vaccine was better than getting covid. I really hate that they're using little brainwashed kids to spread their message instead of trying to use facts and meaningful stats. Bonnie Henry also talking about Christmas gatherings, and saying that unvaccinated family and friends shouldn't be invited. She didn't even think for a second about how stupid she sounded. "Uhh, if people aren't vaccinated they might spread covid [exactly like the vaccinated people do] so they shouldn't be allowed to come to your family gatherings, where they might give covid to the vaccinated people [why does it matter if the vaccine works, Bonnie?]." Vax Nazis are the worst.

Hey...we're building a 1000 year Reich, here. Don't stand in the way of progress...antivaxxers.

And putting the oil and fuel you WILL use onto a rail or highway driven by an illegal, untrained, forced work driver - each with HORRIBLE safety records - is an improvement over pipelines (with overall reasonable safety records, HUGE level of oversight and resources to respond to safety needs)?????

My Grammar was English and she corrected me often until her dying day.

Now you generated a wacko post. People may be environmentalists and still want to live in a community of sorts. You probably do not care about pipelines since they cannot run through your non-existent property or you do not have any outdoors aspirations and do not have places in the wilderness you like visiting. I bet you live in an apartment in some big city. If you have limited understanding of the issues, it is best to keep your hatred for Suzuki to yourself.

I'm good with it too if they build a pipeline right across his back yard, two years after he moves in. Sorry, more oil is needed to build big cities and heat their homes. Progress for liberals

banning personal choice to pander to the woke ain't what's right this bill is woke af it claims to help the alphabet people while restricting their personal choices hypocrisy over 9000 the fact that you buy into that obvious propaganda shows a lack of critical thinking skills

Is it "woke" to stand up for what is right?

Nothing would surprise me either. Is there anything left in the US which hasn't become politicized?

Go to the blackboard and write: "People with the vaccination still spread covid" twenty times. As of right now there's there's not a single vax-Nazi on earth who has made the case for vaccinating children and young, healthy adults.

We can get rid of this covid virus madness once and for all. All we the peasants have to do is just stop listening to the those fear mongering lying politicians, the lying media, and those so called lying health experts and health ministers, whom by the way, are no doubt in some way on the big pharma globalist payroll. There has to be something in there for those pathetic liars. It's not about any virus at all and it never was. It was used to conflict pain and sorrow on we the peasants and to wreck and ruin our lives forever. It's was more about making plenty of money, and be able to implement communist like power and control over we the stupid peasants who keep listening to those psychopathic commie liars. Wake up, all you dummy peasants out there. Refuse the booster jabs, and demand an end to all of this covid medical tyranny madness. Just say, I am not going to take it anymore. They cannot put 37 million people in the gulag. ?

further proof all the parties are the same and are all woke it's a trash bill

Elect a clown . . . expect a circus.

I put 'er in 4X4 and away I go. ?

Clinton was a frequent visitor, and his itinerary as a past prez was a matter of public record. It would literally be impossible to keep his name out of it. It's even beneficial for the Dems to throw him under the bus now (like they did with Al Franken) to give their younger generation more credibility because Bill and Hillary are done like dinner anyways. They don't have enough political capital left to run for co-Mayors of Podunk. It seems as though Trump banned Epstein from Mar A Lago at the beginning of the century but people on this site try to make it seem as though Epstein and Trump were the closest of friends until JE died. Beaverfever was using links from 1999 and 2001 to make his case, and I know that he's getting his fake stories and misleading ammo from some alt-left source with a lot of reach. For sure implicating Trump would be Ghislaine's shining star, and she can do it with no more than a weak rumour (like Dr Ford did to Kavanaugh) but I'm thinking that there will be a lot of smaller players than Trump & Clinton named. The second feather in Ghislaine's cap will be making it look like it's a largely Republican scandal, even though Epstein was a major Demmie donor. The left wing media loves to target Gov's Abbot and DeSantis, Sen Cruz, congressmen Jordan and Gaetz, etc. Ghislaine just has to drop their names innocuously and it will be enough for the left wing media to whip their stooges into a Bork/Kavanaugh - type frenzy. If Ghislaine can use this trial to start a GOP witch hunt that helps to lessen the mid-term massacre in 2022, I can promise you that she'll get a sweetheart deal. Maybe even the highest honour of all in leftist circles - victim status ? Dems/FBI: "You make Epstein, Trump, white privilege and the GOP look like the villains here, we will let you play the victim like Jussie Smollett." You know it's true. That's how the game is played now in DC.

I would like to see a ethnic breakdown on these drivers, or is that racist? Lol

Do(es) the liberals have a money tree ? Yep. His name is Queen Mandy along with my kids and Great Great Great Grandchildren, if I had any.

What the vax-nazis want to call "anti-vaxxers" seems to be made up of 3 groups: The naturally immune, the lovers of liberty, and the pure-bloods. Oh...pardon me and then there are all the medical professionals and researchers who have been dealing with all the adverse reactions coming into the hospital or just see the possible dangers ahead from an experimental badly tested drug, or as the jab-nazis like to call it "vaccine."

David Suzuki is in fact very wealthy. A few years ago I checked what his reported net worth was and at that time it said $24,000,000 US. There is a lot of money to be made by these climate change alarmists. (Ezra Levant also stated that Suzuki owns at least four homes. A lot of consumption for one environmentalist. )

Suzuki is a class less punk. How are BC and island citizens liking the trans canada pipeland pause? Of course environmentalist think gas just comes out of a gas station and there are no consequence for vilifying big oil

David Suzuki is a farce . . . . an un-funny farce. Thanks to the CBC, this so called expert is the go-to guy on everything from fruit flies to farts. In actuality, he's a dangerous inciter and enough shallow thinking people will and can carry out his predictions.

They say, you don't know a person, and a country till you have seen them in the time of crisis. Those who have been here for the FLQ events probably can tell that living through crisis in Canada is not fun. It panics, overreacts, jerks this way and that, war measures acts, arbitrary detentions with belated decades on apologies and analyses by talking heads in TV. There's little to analyze though - it reflects as a bodyglove suit the behavior of a small group of entitled bureaucrats that has been running the country since its quasi-independence. It's them who have no clue what to do rationally and intelligently, panic, jump to unconfirmed and poorly justified conclusions, overreact, shoot mosquito from a 120 caliber gun with nothing or nobody to balance; bring another perspective; check and limit arbitrary decisions and acts to something that would make more sense. Who is there for that, to fill that essential and in critical times, no less than critical role in 160 years and counting? Just look around. And when things settle down decades later TV chat by talking heads would there/wouldn't be/when and by who a belated apology. That was fifty years, two generations back and here we are again. Same one-to-one management style. Not a speck of a change, whatsoever. Only who can tell when this thing would settle down? Unlike previous cases, it may take not years but decades. Wherever it goes though, would it just fade miraculously with big kudos for successful management with three total shutdowns (and counting) where some managed without any; or come back with another resistant variant - we have seen all there's to see. Nothing new will happen here for a simple, yet fundamental reason: nothing changes. Change is not possible.

Unlike you I do not wake up every morning and worry about the environment. I could careless as to what mother nature is doing to the climate. I have to learn to live with it without crying about it. It's her call and not yours. You have no say in the matter. The world has gone thru so many natural disasters since time began but yet we are all still here alive and thriving. Sure there will be many people that will have their homes washed away by floods or burned down to the ground by forest fires, but what can you personally do about it? Do you have any fantastic plans to offer to stop these floods and forest fires? Over to you. Maybe the next flood will wash your house away or a forest fire will burn your home down, so I would suggest that you take up your concerns with mother nature and not me because I am dam sure that I cannot do a dam thing for you. Works really well for me. ?
